FAQs

What makes these frames 'ultralight'?

The frames are constructed from ultralight titanium, a material known for its strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for a very light feel on the face.

Are these frames suitable for sports?

While the frames are secure due to the flexible temples, they are designed for everyday optical use. For high-impact sports, specialized sports eyewear is recommended.

Can I put my existing prescription lenses into these frames?

This typically requires a professional optician to carefully transfer and fit your lenses into the new frame. Lens shape and size compatibility must be checked.

How durable is the titanium material?

Titanium is a strong and durable metal. However, like all materials, it can be bent or damaged if subjected to excessive force. The flexible temples offer some resilience against normal wear and tear.

What is the warranty on Blackfin frames?

Warranty information is specific to the retailer and manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact Blackfin customer support for details on warranty coverage.

How do I clean smudges from the titanium frame?

For the frame, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away smudges. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid any abrasive cleaning agents.

Is the black color prone to chipping?

The black finish is applied with quality in mind. However, like any coated surface, significant impact or abrasion could potentially cause chipping over time. Proper care will help maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Frames feel loose after initial fitting

Contact your optician. They can make fine adjustments to the temples or nose pads to ensure a secure fit.

Temples feel too tight

The flexible temples should offer a comfortable grip. If they cause discomfort, consult your optician for a potential adjustment.

Scratches on the frame or lenses

Frame scratches may be minor and could be polished by a professional. Lens scratches are permanent; use a protective case to prevent them. If lenses are significantly scratched, they may need replacement by an optician.

Discoloration of the frame

Ensure the frames are not exposed to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight. Clean gently with a soft cloth. If discoloration persists, it may indicate material degradation.
